    Default building a straight razor quiver for first shaves

    Cheetah here with todays first installment.

    I just went through 30+ of my razors and picked out 5 that I thought would make for an interesting array of shaving experiences for me as a beginner. Factors that influenced the collection are size, style, width and shape of blade, age and manufacturer. I know some red flags are going to raised regarding thw width of the blade but I just love larger blades.

    3/4 Packwood - near wedge
    7/8 George Wostenhelm - faux frameback
    7/8 Wade & Butcher The Celebrated Hollow Ground - half hollow
    8/8 Wade & Butcher - wedge
    8/8 Wade & Butcher Barbers Use - wedge

    I am ready to send these out of restoration/ sharpening. I wanted to get peoples imput on my choices. there are lots of conversations on the forum about weight, degree of hollows and shaving with really old razors that I would like to be able to comment on.

    Sorry it's alittle pic heavy but I want to give clear images so the debate can remain friendly..LOL
